Smile - Earth (staffell) lyrics

rate me

I might be at a table<br />

And suddenly I'll catch<br />

A fleeting vision of her crystal seas<br />

Or I might be standing in a crowded dockyard faraway<br />

Beneath the sun I've never seen<br />

'Cos I have seen many worlds<br />

For what it's worth<br />

But I'll never see again<br />

The planet earth<br />

My earth<br />

I might be chasing waves of light<br />

Out towards the grim<br />

Where stars are sparse<br />

And the cold of space seeps in<br />

But I might be in a barroom<br />

Drinking menthylated gin<br />

And thinking of places I have been<br />

Yes I have seen many worlds<br />

For what it's worth<br />

But I'll never see again the planet earth<br />

My earth<br />

Cast adrift amongst the stars<br />

I float from sun to sun<br />

Dreaming of the world that gave me birth<br />

All the places I have been<br />

Remind me there is none to match the green living hills of earth.
